Open fires in the reception hall, games room and lounge give ample space for everyone to grab a seat in front of the crackling flames for a cosy night in. Gather for meals in the dining room (seating up to 16 adults), where patio doors lead directly out to the wonderful, landscaped gardens for after dinner drinks. At the end of the day, return to warm your toes against the AGA, before enjoying some friendly competition with your fellow guests.
A successful blend of tradition and quirk has been created in the bedrooms, with patterned wallpaper and soft furnishings a backdrop to vintage furniture. Seven of the bedrooms boast TVs, ideal for a bit of privacy on lazy mornings and cosy evenings, and all eight bedrooms having ensuites makes life easy for large, mixed-age family groups. The bathrooms retain the same character but with a modern touch. A long soak in the master bedroom's freestanding bath being a daily event that should not be missed!
Approached by a winding, private drive which leads to a gravel turning circle to the front of the house, the spectacular landscaped gardens are surrounded by rolling, green fields. Start your day with a coffee on the substantial terrace, a glorious setting for al fresco dining morning, noon and night.

Summary: Fantastic property. 16 of us for a family birthday. Lots of different spaces so we werent on top of each other all the time. The teens really enjoyed the games room. It was also great having all of us round the huge dining table. Location is ideal so we walked in to Galashiels and also in to tweedbank , no need to get in the car.

Summary: Exceptionally beautiful period property. Stunning. Online pictures do not do it justice. Perfectly clean and has everything you need in the kitchen ( although kitchen is a little quirky and it might take you a while to find things). Plenty of exercise circumnavigating the kitchen island. But we did venture out further in the rain and easy walking from the house to and then along the river and to The Great Scottish Tapestry. The property is on a busy road but well set back so that is in no way an issue while in the property but does mean each walk started and ended along the road.

Summary: Martin was a great host. From booking to check out was perfect. Martins home is the very best we’ve ever stayed in. Absolutely perfect for a large family/friends gathering. We hired a private chef to cook for my husbands 60th birthday and the chef was delighted with how well laid out the kitchen was and she found everything she needed to cook a fab dinner. The dining room had ample space for the 12 guests and could easily accommodate more. There were several areas for us to sit together or sit in smaller groups. The bedrooms all had lovely en suite bathrooms which was good for all of the guests. We would definitely want to stay here again and Martin was a brilliant host!!

Summary: The property is exceptional. Everyone in the party of 14 adults was very impressed. We loved the house (bedrooms were amazing), its facilities (games room, especially), and we really enjoyed exploring the well-maintained gardens. The kitchen was well-appointed, though not so easy to work with when cooking for 14+ people. But, we got by ok in the end! Being able to sit everyone in the dining room was fantastic! The property ouzes class and refinement. Brilliant!

Summary: Our family plans an annual trip every year and we are always looking for a large house to accommodate our group, that includes outdoor space for kids to play, multiple living spaces, and plenty of rooms/bathrooms. Martin's home in Galashiels exceeded all of our expectations. The house was perfectly situated to walk or easily drive into town and very close to Melrose, which is also lovely. Martin was easy to access via WhatsApp for any needs and permitted us to have an early check-in as we were traveling from the States. We took several day trips by train to Edinburgh and also went fly fishing on the River Tweed. Our kids loved playing soccer in the croquet area and there are many hiking trails in the woods in the back. Would highly recommend this house for large groups and Martin is a wonderful host.
